Searching for Sugar Man is continuing to gain momentum in its quest to land an Oscar nomination…

The moving film about Mexican American folk singer Rodriguez, who has been dubbed the greatest ’70s U.S. rock icon who never was, has been named the Best Documentary by the National Board of Review.

In recent weeks, Searching for Sugar Man has picked up Best Documentary nods from the International Press Academy, the Producers Guild of America and the International Documentary Association.

The National Board of Review’s awards will be handed out on January 8 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City in a gala hosted by Meredith Vieira.
